#DUNGEON CRAWL STONE SOUP WINDOWED MODE WINDOWS#

* Large flash player windows in firefox such as a 'popped out' youtube video Once I move my cursor outside the window, it begins to move at its regular speed.īelow are few examples of applications that cause this issue: General desktop use has a slight but bearable lag to mouse movement, however certain applications cause the problem to become a magnitude worse (like moving the mouse through treacle) but only while the mouse is in the windows limits. I had a great time watching each swing, comparing the attack roll and bonus vs the evasion roll and bonus, and seeing the resulting damage and defense rolls.Description Chris Jordan 03:40:20 CET Enabling window compositing causes laggy mouse movement when compositing is enabled. But that meant only one hand on the war hammer, bringing it down to 5d4 with first crit step at +8, so at +10 was an avg of 12.5 - a little less than the spear.Īll of this is clearly shown in the UI (on the character sheet) and explained in the manual. Then I found a shield, a nice one with -0 penalty and +1d4 to my damage resist. It crits on each +8, so 5d6 at +8 and 6d6 at +16. That went up to 4d4 in my hands, with a bonus to 4d6 with two hands. The war hammer was a seemingly strange 4d1, 3 weight. It would crit when the attack vs evade difference on the roll was 10 (my skill base of 5 + 5 weapon weight), so on a +10 it was 2d12 and on the rare +20 it was 3d12. That went up to 1d12 in my hands (+3 from strength, capped at weight). One tactical choice was between two normal weapons I found: a spear vs a war hammer. Transparent because each roll is shown (in its own window, if you want to make room) which means each result is very clear. I really like the transparent, tactical decisions in Sil.

You can thus play each level more than once, but not indefinitely.

Over time you can no longer find your way to the shallower depths.

There is more tactical depth in combat, partly due to the absence of easy escapes.

There is much less explicit magic (e.g.The monsters, items, artifacts are almost completely rewritten.

The aim is now to free a Silmaril from Morgoth’s crown, then escape.

You are no longer trying to kill Morgoth.

The others on my list are more focused and stripped down in design - Qud is my favorite of the expansive “kitchen sink” style of roguelike.

Caves of Qud - Rich post-post-apocalypytic world, creative minimalist tileset adds a lot of atmosphere, fun character builds with tons of options, lots of variety.

Some limited persistence for items and sidequests, though not for the hardest dungeon! (I’ve only played the DS version but want to try a more recent one soon). Graphics have a lot of personality, especially by Roguelike standards. You only have shield/sword/bow for equipment, but there’s a lot of variety with the consumables and the monsters have all sorts of different abilities. Streamlined in a good way without dumbing down, where everything is carefully put there for a reason. Shiren the Wanderer - Very creative monster and item design.Character build system is based entirely on items, which allows for more variety than you might think (enchantment scrolls will give any item a big boost and are in short supply, so using one is almost like choosing a class or skill).

Fun environmental effects, gently sloping difficulty curve that eases you in but still gets suitably hard eventually.

Brogue - Really pushes ASCII art to its limits, beautiful and colorful game.

Originally an Angband fork, but changes enough to be a new game. Even by roguelike standards it’s quite hard though. For example, songs replace explicit magic Also the skill system elegantly combines simplicity and depth, good enemy AI, fun and effective secondary mechanics like light and item forging and stealth. It’s not the first Tolkien-themed roguelike, but it has by far the most attention to lore accuracy (it’s mostly window dressing in Angband) with a meticulously faithful First Age theme.

Sil - Tolkien lore nerds must play this.

My favorite traditional tile-based RPG roguelikes (setting aside the debate of whether Slay the Spire or Spelunky are roguelikes):
